See the rise and fall of Ukrainian arms dealer Yuri Orlov (Cage). Yuri wants money and success and justifies his lifestyle of selling weapons to mobsters and dictators in order to live with himself.
What is the nature of evil? If you think you know, sit down to Lord of War and find out everything you thought you knew turned on its head. It may seem lighthearted, but view it again and it's chilling what goes on in this world.
Nicholas Cage is great in the film. The story weaves in and out nicely. It almost makes you like his character who is really just an immoral sales person trying to make money... what's new about that.
